Through the EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK award and the MOBILITYACTION award, the European Commission seeks to recognise local authorities and organisations that have demonstrated excellence in the areas of sustainable urban mobility awareness-raising and sustainable urban mobility management during the 2023 campaign period.
Applications for the 2023 edition of the awards are now closed. Finalists will be announced in early 2024, followed by an award ceremony crowning the winners later in the spring.
The EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK Award recognises local authorities that have excelled in raising awareness about sustainable urban mobility. The award is directly related to local authorities’ active participation in the campaign, which includes (1) organising activities focused on sustainable mobility during the main event week from 16-22 September, (2) implementing one or more permanent transport measures, and (3) holding a ‘Car-Free Day’. In order to apply for this award, local authorities must have completed the three criteria mentioned above.

The MOBILITYACTION Award aims to place a spotlight on the campaign’s MOBILITYACTIONs, which are open to NGOs, businesses, civil society organisations, citizen initiatives, schools or local administrations that are promoting sustainable mobility throughout the year. In particular, the MOBILITYACTION award rewards participants that demonstrate excellence in Mobility Management, including mobility plans, as well as measures and strategies which have a notable impact on sustainable mobility.

In previous years, EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK presented the Award for Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning (SUMP), which was complementary to the EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK campaign but not directly related. The SUMP Award recognised local and regional authorities for excellence in sustainable urban mobility planning and was created to encourage the adoption of SUMPs by local authorities across Europe.
2021 was the last year the SUMP Award was rewarded.

In previous, EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK also awarded the EU Urban Road Safety Award, which, like the SUMP Award, was complementary to the EUROPEANMOBILITYWEEK campaign but not directly related. This award rewarded outstanding and innovative achievements by local authorities in the area of road safety and encouraged the exchange of good practices across Europe.
2021 was the last year that the EU Urban Road Safety Award was given.
